Could not find any remote files

[Nibb31]

Hi, I'm getting the following message when I try to run the script with kiwix-zim.sh /storage/wiki/zim

2. Preprocessing...

  -Validating ZIM directory...
  ✓ Valid ZIM Directory

  -Building online ZIM list...
    ✗  Could not find any remote files, exiting

The /storage/wiki/zim folder looks like this:

What am I doing wrong ?

first verify that wget -O - https://library.kiwix.org/catalog/v2/entries works and gives you some xml like

  <entry>
    <id>urn:uuid:00707c1f-8c78-6a0c-be4a-dd270f12b62a</id>

  </entry>

second, try rerunning with the -g flag. I presume you may have interrupted the last time that the script attempted to get the remote index, so this flag will ignore your local cache (or you can wait 24 hours for the same effect)

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm getting a certificate error when I run the wget command:

--2023-10-03 22:44:23--  https://library.kiwix.org/catalog/v2/entries
Résolution de library.kiwix.org (library.kiwix.org)… 51.159.108.60

Erreur : le certificat de « library.kiwix.org » n’est pas de confiance.
Erreur : le certificat de « library.kiwix.org » n’est pas d’un émetteur connu.

I have installed the ca-certificates package (Debian Bullseye).

Edit: I fixed it. It turns out it was a permissions issue on my /etc/ssl/certs folder. Sorry for the bother!

No worries, sounds like a doozy
